chevman32, is this a 1st or 2nd edition for 55?
Iheartmytruck, what does a 9300 look like. Is it a 1/2 ton short bed like mine?
johnh1951, sounds like yours is very close to mine. don't think there were a lot of changes from 51 to 53 besides door locks and possibly window vents.
speed, the 53 you had, was it a gmc or chevy. either way, sorry you lost it because i'm sure you'd love driving it if you had it today. maybe you can find another gmc, maybe even 53.
bullet, i'm in the same boat as you; rather drive it than restore it. actually, i don't have the bucks to restore it, so i just keep it running and drive it. unfortunatley, it only gets about 8 mph after a carb rebuild of the rottenchester, so either i didn't rebuild it correctly (which is highly possible as this was my first and probably last rebuild) or i just need another carb. either way, it gets expensive in this time of $3/gallon gas :-)
BTW, Peggy has graciously posted pics of our old_blue '53 in the Gallery for October editions. (Yes, I am in the market for the correct fuel and air filters :-)).
Thanks Peggy and thanks to all who've replied on this thread. Really enjoy seeing all the GMC guys out there.
